The 6 C’s are the learning habits that we are seeking to develop in all our students in the school community. This is both to make them successful learners during their time in school and as they take their place in the wider world.
Students at The Cottesloe School are specifically rewarded for demonstrating these behaviours and lessons are structured to enable them to demonstrate and progress these behaviours over time.
Teachers in the school embody these values, and during academic mentoring teachers discuss these skills with their tutees.
Since the last inspection there have been significant improvements in pupils’ progress. From different starting points the progress of pupils is strong, reflecting the improvement in teaching and higher expectations of the pupils.
Teaching has improved since the last inspection and has many significant strengths. Pupils recognise this and a group of Year 10 pupils told an inspector ‘teaching is incredible’. Teachers know pupils well and track their progress, intervening when they fall behind.
The headteacher and senior leadership team are passionate about improving the school and have successfully ensured a culture of continual improvement. They are ambitious for their pupils and this has raised expectations. They have successfully tackled the areas for improvement from the previous inspection report, for example improving pupils’ progress and achievement in mathematics
The head of sixth form monitors the progress of students and the teaching they receive. He liaises with subject leaders in good time if there are any concerns. He is committed to improving outcomes in all subjects. There has been some variation in the achievement and progress of sixth form courses in the past, although the performance gaps between subjects are closing. In particular, the few vocational course outcomes which lagged behind are now improving.
13 August, 2020We were delighted to see so many Year 13 students in school this morning to receive their A level and BTEC results. As expected, our students have produced some fantastic results and we are extremely proud of their achievements. The challenging process of awarding grades has gone extremely well and this saw fewer of our students having their grades altered than on the national scale. They have taken the whole process in their stride and have been able to secure their next steps towards university or apprenticeships. Results have risen from last year and some notable achievements included Stanley Stokes who achieved two A* and an A and is hoping to go to Cambridge to study Natural Sciences. Amelia Fogden achieved two A* and two A grades and is hoping to take a gap year to pursue her equestrian ambitions. Mr Jones, Headteacher
